3-songs by Wake

Posted in Records on October 20, 2020

It's been a productive year for Wake, from Alberta, CA. The band released a full-length earlier this year: Devouring Ruin, and they're back with three new songs on the Confluence EP, which will release digitally on October 20 and on limited vinyl on Jan. 15, 2021, courtesy of Translation Loss Records.

“We feel like the momentum of Devouring Ruin propelled us forward into this record,” the band says in a statement. “We had so many ideas and movements we wanted to work with when we were writing Devouring, and there was just a whole lot of ground we didn’t get to cover. Confluence is our place to carry on with some of the experiments we had composed and flesh them out into something concise. The recording feels like a whirring between two separate dimensions; some kind of clarity and some kind of shifted space. All of us wanted to try a whole bunch of different things and we did our best to blend them together into something still purely forceful, but that will hopefully bring to bear other questions for listeners.”
